Sunday 2nd April was a perfect day for classic motoring.
Back in December 2021, I loaned my Tatraplan to the Motor Museum of WA for display in their collection. The car was with them for more than a year until I collected it from them at the end of March 2023, just in time for the April Classic Cars and Coffee.
Arriving early-ish. Despite not having been run in over 12 months, I found that the car needed no special maintenance. The brakes were good, no loss of fluid, the gearbox oil was full, the engine oil was full, the petrol pump worked - it did have a leaky seal, which I fixed before driving her - and the car started up easily. It was nice to take her out on a good drive.
I was lucky enough to get a spot where I could reverse park. The Tatra does NOT have good vision to the rear.
Skoda 100RS
Here's a real interesting car - an Auburn Speedster model 851, no less. Actually it's a replica, but a damned good looking one.
